lobster Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 A lot of you may have noticed a number of ads on the side for a company called TEMU . Avoid like the plague it is a scamsite designed to get your details 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skamp Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 No they're not. I've bought a few items from them. Don't expect the best of quality or fast shipping but for cheap and cheerful stuff, it's OK. I buy my car wax from them. Look for ones that offer a showroom shine. Excellent for less than a tenner. https://www.temu.com/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyben Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 hmmm. the clue's in your name though, Skam-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holmesfield_owl Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 My mum's card got done buying through Temu. BUT, I have bought direct from them with no issues. There does seem to be issues when people buy through link on pages or through Facebook for example, go direct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Owl Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) Definitely not a scam site. It's like wish or Ali express. Products are cheap for a reason but good enough Never had any non deliveries. Although I've seen what Holmesfield has written. Some links etc definitely don't take you to the genuine temu site. Pity Google etc cannot be bothered to prevent scammers from doing this Edited May 15 by Kiwi Owl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAL Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 So it seems a legit site if you go direct. But thanks anyway @lobster for thinking about us. It could be a good idea to have a thread, where sites can be verified as legit or not, just an idea, maybe a daft one but an idea all the same 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No longer needs the car wax 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Finney Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 They are associated with information harvesting without a doubt. They were recently subject to accusations when they were offering some sort of rewards to customers for getting them to ask their families and friends for their personal info and contact details and offering financial reward. Here's what "Which" have to say on them. https://www.which.co.uk/news/article/what-is-temu-and-is-it-safe-to-buy-from-a7BUb4k5fBFH I like Temu to be honest as my missus uses them a lot. She still buys a load of crap, it just happens to be a lot cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoylandOwl Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Appreciate you thinking of folks Lobster, my missus uses it quite a lot... As I usually trip up over the shit load of parcels near the front door when I come home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Finney Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 The problem I find with the adverts are the scantily clad birds in some of them when wifey is looking over my shoulder and asking WTF I'm looking at. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Finney Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I did quite like the girl in the Devils outfit but that first appeared on mine for Halloween, but she's still there and Halloween was ages ago. Is it because I keep clicking on her for a better look do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on the plus side... When she catches you on the porn sites, you can just say, "what can I do, its that site with the adverts again" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
